Rack-Mount Installation
Before the unit is installed into a rack the following items should be taken into
consideration:
• The maximum ambient temperature of this unit is 40°C. Internal
temperatures of the rack assembly should be considered for safe operation.
• Do not block power supply vents or otherwise restrict airflow when
installing the unit into the rack.
• Mechanical loading of the rack should be considered so that the rack
remains stable and unlikely to tip.
• Consideration to the overall loading of the branch circuit should be given
before installing any equipment in a rack environment.
Installation Steps Use the following procedure to install the Megaplex chassis into a standard 19"
RETMA rack and apply the AC input power.
Step 1 Remove the slides from the chassis by sliding the slides out until the rear
retaining spring buttons engage. Depress the buttons and slip the slides
completely free from the chassis. Set the chassis aside.
Step 2 Remove the small claw brackets from the package and loosely fasten them, with
the teeth facing out, to the front and rear of the outer slides using 10-32 x 1/2"
screws. Notice that the bracket has slotted holes for adjustment. Use the locking
hex nuts provided to secure the screws.
